This multi-channel approach to video content gives your business a measurable, ROI of the video creation process.

These videos help your business to digitally raise brand awareness. Video can be formatted in many ways to portray technical processes, products, facilities, case studies and more.

There are many far-reaching avenues that your organization can use to implement video to ensure that your brand reaches your target audience.

YouTube is the most used video-sharing platform to-date and is the world’s second-most visited website overall according to Hootsuite, a social media management platform. With 1.7 billion unique monthly visitors and 62% of the nation’s users accessing YouTube daily, investing the time to implement your marketing strategy on YouTube can amplify your content much further. Though YouTube focuses exclusively on video, there is a growing audience for video marketing content on other mainstream social media platforms as well.

With 2.91 billion active Facebook users monthly, and a rising number of those users gravitating toward video, it can be incredibly impactful to your business to distribute your videos on Facebook.
Any video that your company invests the time to create can be shared on many avenues including your website, YouTube channel, Facebook page, LinkedIn profile, and many more. This kind of reusable content can give your business a substantial advantage in reaching your target audience.
